Bethany Beach

For some, the Bethany Beach lifestyle is the ultimate expression of why the Delaware beaches hold a special place in people's hearts, generation after generation, season after season. For years, Bethany has embraced its own quiet style – smaller and more serene than some beach resorts, Bethany is beloved for its balance of family-friendly peacefulness and fun-loving diversions, and has become a favorite for celebrities.

Bethany is the kind of place that's perfectly suited to beach-house gatherings of extended families, who find their sunny days filled with an endless array of do-as-you-please activities – sunning or running on the broad beaches; shopping tax-free at the shops around town and on the Boardwalk; or lingering over a gourmet meal at such revered restaurants as Bluecoast Seafood Grille, DiFebo's, Bethany Blues or Mango's.
